Comments on: The Cause of England’s Violent Crime: The iPhone http://www.learnaboutguns.com/2009/04/01/the-cause-of-englands-violent-crime-the-iphone/ Firearm information and politics from a gun rights perspective, with an emphasis on self defense rights.

If true, not even God could save the queen (crown)! All I'd have to do is become a criminal and just plain ignore any laws I don't like and my life would be a lot easier there. It seems like the UK is trying to teach it's kids that anarchy and violence leads to a better life than being decent and following the rules. What the heck?! Going for total state control of even self defense is a bad decision. Nothing leads to disrespect of the law like trying to enforce unreasonable rules. This seems highly immoral.

Hopefully those in this country who are just as fucked in the head will not attain positions of power from which they can impose their will on the rest of us.

They all promote violence, don't they? While we’re at it, let’s not only ban fingers as SithSnoopy says, let’s ban those video games, Nerf guns, toy lightsabers and Super Soakers.

I played Duck Hunt, and I loved it. I am a indoctrinated killing machine. I must go on shooting spree. I must obey Duck Hunt. I'll post a link to the article where I blame it on Duck Hunt.

In fact, I think that a finger ban wouldn't go far enough. To truly protect the children, we must have a hand ban: http://www.learnaboutguns.com/2008/06/17/the-solution-to-crime-is-not-a-handgun-ban-but-a-hand-ban/ You’re right, SithSnoopy.

No one could fire a gun or stab with a knife, or hold iPhones in order to make fake gun noises, if they didn't have any fingers. I think we should just outlaw all fingers.
